I lost my best friend today.
She didn't die, well not physically.
She went away mentally and emotionally.
It's a forever vacation, she didn't even pack.
I can see it in her dead eyes,
here it in her rabid voice.
It makes my soul sick, but she's
not taking me down with her.
I stand on the placid shore and
wave goodbye, as she sails
for insanity

Never say never - she may (emphasis on the 'may') return....the treatment of mental illness, while it still has a hell of a way too go, has also improved considerably over the years.... in all possibility also it needs more resources..
A brief but also important picture you paint there Thomas.
Thank you, Dave. I appreciate your time.
A fine write T.
Meanwhile - there's a type of insanity, if one hears me singing/screeching - so I say. lol.
Thank you.
Fine words Thomas but as Dave said maybe whe will be back someday.
Andy
Thank you.
I can see it in her dead eyes, wow dark emotional and really heavy on a heart, beautifully crafted dear Thomas, I can only hope this is fiction. Truly sad to lose anyone you love this way be it friend or family. 🌹
Thank you, Teddy. I appreciate you so much.
A moving, poignant poem, Thomas.
Thank you, Tom.

I'm sorry for your loss. Thanks for reading. Mental illness is rough.
